Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Malibu Boats, Inc. is taxed as a C corporation for U.S. income tax purposes and is therefore subject to both federal and state taxation at a corporate level. The LLC continues to operate in the United States as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable for the current year and for the impact of deferred tax liabilities and assets, which represent future tax consequences of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established using the enacted statutory tax rates and are adjusted for any changes in such rates in the period of change. Therefore, tax expense and deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect such status. In November 2015, the FASB issued an update to their accounting guidance on income taxes that eliminated the requirement for companies to present deferred income tax assets and liabilities as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, companies are required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The Company early adopted this guidance as of the beginning of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 on a retrospective basis. The application resulted in a reclassification of $629 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 from current deferred tax asset to noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheet. The components of provision for income taxes are as follows:
| Fiscal Year Ended June 30,
| 2017 |  | 2016 |  | 2015
Current tax expense: |  |  |  |  |
Federal | $ | 6,094 |  |  | $ | 5,372 |  |  | $ | 205 |
State | 1,134 |  |  | 902 |  |  | 95 |
Foreign | 788 |  |  | 351 |  |  | 430 |
Total Current | 8,016 |  |  | 6,625 |  |  | 730 |
Deferred tax expense: |  |  |  |  |
Federal | 9,132 |  |  | 4,886 |  |  | 8,208 |
State | 615 |  |  | 458 |  |  | (49 | )
Foreign | (170 | ) |  | (168 | ) |  | (226 | )
Total Deferred | 9,577 |  |  | 5,176 |  |  | 7,933 |
Income tax expense | $ | 17,593 |  |  | $ | 11,801 |  |  | $ | 8,663 |
The income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate to income from continuing operations before income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences are as follows:
| Fiscal Year Ended June 30,
| 2017 |  | 2016 |  | 2015
Federal tax provision at statutory rate | 35.0 | % |  | 35.0 | % |  | 35.0 | %
State income taxes, net of federal benefit | 3.4 |  |  | 3.2 |  |  | 0.1 |
Permanent differences attributable to partnership investment | 0.4 |  |  | (0.4 | ) |  | 1.6 |
Section 199 deductions | (1.4 | ) |  | — |  |  | — |
Non-controlling interest | (1.9 | ) |  | (2.5 | ) |  | (9.8 | )
Change in valuation allowance | 1.1 |  |  | 1.3 |  |  | — |
Other, net | (0.4 | ) |  | 0.2 |  |  | 0.3 |
Total income tax expense on continuing operations | 36.2 | % |  | 36.8 | % |  | 27.2 | %
The Company’s effective tax rate includes a rate benefit attributable to the fact that the Company’s subsidiary operated as a limited liability company which was not subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, the portion of the Company’s subsidiary earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest are subject to tax when reported as a component of the non-controlling interests’ taxable income. The components of the Company's net deferred income tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:
| As of June 30,
| 2017 |  | 2016
Deferred tax assets: |  |  |
Litigation accrual | $ | — |  |  | $ | 89 |
Partnership basis differences | 115,599 |  |  | 123,738 |
Fixed assets and intangibles | 8 |  |  | 58 |
Accrued liabilities and reserves | 348 |  |  | 546 |
State tax credits and NOLs | 1,712 |  |  | 1,059 |
Acquisition costs | 10 |  |  | — |
Other | 51 |  |  | 99 |
Less valuation allowance | (10,324 | ) |  | (9,700 | )
Total deferred tax assets | 107,404 |  |  | 115,889 |
Deferred tax liabilities: |  |  |
Fixed assets and intangibles | 850 |  |  | 941 |
Other | 18 |  |  | 39 |
Total deferred tax liabilities | 868 |  |  | 980 |
Total net deferred tax assets | $ | 106,536 |  |  | $ | 114,909 |
On an annual basis, the Company performs a comprehensive analysis of all forms of positive and negative evidence to determine whether realizability of deferred tax assets is more likely than not. During each interim period, the Company updates its annual analysis for significant changes in the positive and negative evidence. At June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company concluded that $10,324 and $9,700, respectively, of valuation allowance against deferred tax assets was necessary. The additional valuation allowance recorded at June 30, 2017 is due to a portion of the outside basis in the LLC not expected to be realized as a result of certain partnership deductions being limited under Internal Revenue Code Section 704. The Company continues to record the valuation allowance on state net operating losses generated by current and future amortization deductions (with respect to the Section 754 election) that are reported in the Tennessee corporate tax return without offsetting income, which is taxable at the LLC. Unrecognized tax benefits are discussed in the Company's accounting policy for income taxes (Refer to Note 1 on Income Taxes for more information). The Company has filed federal and state income tax returns that remain open to examination for years 2014 through 2016, while its subsidiaries, Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC and Malibu Boats Pty Ltd., remain open to examination for years 2013 through 2016. The Company is currently undergoing an IRS examination of its June 30, 2015 return which began in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. A reconciliation of changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:
| Fiscal Year Ended June 30,
| 2017 |  | 2016 |  | 2015
Balance as of July 1 | $ | 66 |  |  | $ | 66 |  |  | $ | — |
Additions based on tax positions taken during the current period | 47 |  |  | — |  |  | 4 |
Additions based on tax positions taken during a prior period | — |  |  | — |  |  | 62 |
Balance as of June 30 | $ | 113 |  |  | $ | 66 |  |  | $ | 66 |
In fiscal year 2015, the Company recorded $62 and $4 in connection with uncertain tax positions taken by Malibu Boats Pty Ltd. in prior fiscal years and the fiscal year 2015, respectively, that would be payable by the Company if settled with the relevant tax authority. As of June 30, 2017, it is reasonably possible that none of the total unrecognized tax benefits recorded will reverse within the next 12 months. Of the total unrecognized tax benefits recorded on the balance sheet, $113 would impact the effective tax rate once settled. The Company did not provide for U.S. federal income taxes or foreign withholding taxes in fiscal year 2017 on approximately $2,641 of undistributed earnings of its non-U.S. subsidiary, as such earnings were intended to be reinvested indefinitely. The estimated income and withholding tax liability associated with the remittance of these earnings is nominal.
